The Motorola Moto X will be released this summer and their early marketing efforts declare it’ll be “designed by you.” Rumoured specs are that we’ll see the new Android run OS 4.2.2 and come with a 4.7-inch full HD screen, NVIDIA Tegra 4i processor, 16MP camera, a 5MP front-facing camera, and some sort of “smart” technology. Dennis Woodside, Motorola’s CEO, previously confirmed that the new “hero” device will “know when it’s in your pocket, we know when it’s in your hand, it’s going to know when you want to take a picture and fire up the cameras… The device will know when you’re in the car and it’s moving at 60mph and you’ll interact with it differently, more safely.”

New details emerged today that reveal deep personalization. According to sources at ABC, the Moto X – which they say is a ‘mid-range phone’ – will be available for sale via a website – similar to Google’s Nexus 4. In addition, “buyers will be able to select from a palette of different colors. One color can be used for the back case and another can be selected for the trim of the phone. Users will also be able to engrave a name or message on the back cover as well as upload a personal photo through the site to be used as the wallpaper on the phone’s screen.” The engraving portion is similar to heading to the Apple’s online store where they give you options to laser engrave your iPod or iPad, but the wallpaper will certainly add a personal touch to the device.

The Moto X is apparently in carrier testing now and will also be made available for sale within retail stores, but will be a un-customized version. Unfortunately, no word yet on specific Canadian partners.
